Chapter 24 – Knights of the Hundred Flowers
“Okay. The captain said he splits his busy time to deal with us. Let’s go.”
“The only person qualified to be our leader is the vice-captain!”
“Don’t get excited. Who’s going to fight for the captain’s position?”
I want to see your skills.
Sirocco kicked Globa up and walked out in the lead.
“Let’s go! You guys.”
The Hundred Flower Knights march.
Even drunken knights who are lightly drunk, when marching through the streets wearing capes engraved with the symbol of white flames
The villagers all look up to them.
“It’s the White Flower Knights!”
“Sirocco is there too.”
“As rumored, great breasts…”
Tingle!
Sirocco waved away the passers-by with her ill-tempered eyes and moved forward.
The royal guards jumped out in surprise when they saw Sirocco.
“Are you back already?”
“Because the captain is doing something fun inside.”
The first training ground inside the royal castle.
On the stage with regular white marble tiles,
The refurbishment of the White Flower Knights. Claire was standing.
‘Looking at it again, he’s a real kid.’
Sirocco, when she first joined the Templars herself at fifteen,
With her dazzling eyes, she once knocked down all the knights who looked at her…….
I never imagined that the day would come when I could sympathize with them, thinking that they were feeling this way.
Too young too young
Twelve years old.
He’s not grown in height and doesn’t have the right armor size, so it’s awkward to see him wearing only under armor.
‘I’ve heard that he’s the greatest genius ever….’
To become the leader of the Knights in Rune Kingdom, also known as the Knight Kingdom,
In fact, it is possible only with great force.
You mean that silver-haired, blue-eyed girl has the same strength as the entire Knights?
“Everyone…”
Claire opened her mouth.
“If you’ve come to see my skills, come upstairs.”
‘He’s quite confident.’
Sirocco was ignited by her fighting spirit.
Although she was a little shy in front of the adults, her voice trembled.
That look of trying to stay strong, it’s not bad.
“We’re here to see!”
“The vice-captain wants to join me personally!”
Sirocco took off her cloak and left it with Globa.
“Sup…”
“Don’t smell it. Do you want to die?”
After arguing with her men for a while, she climbed up and was slightly surprised to see her surroundings.
“Jonas…”
The guys who challenged the leader earlier are all stretched out.
About ten people.
‘Did I get hurt without being able to resist?’
“I did.”
“I’m curious about your skills. Captain.”
“I’ll be careful not to faint this time.”
Creepy.
Sirocco thought she had met the right match for the first time in a while, and she was on fire.
The member quickly takes over her beloved sword.
It’s a large sword that’s quite large even for a man to hold, but Sirocco swung it lightly into the air a few times like a thin twig,
She aimed at Claire.
“Then, shall we start right away?”
“…Before that, I have a question for you, Vice-captain Sirocco.”
What?
Any questions at this time?
Sirocco lowered her greatsword as if steaming up slightly.
“What is it?”
“That… That… Why is Vice-captain Sirocco like that…”
Sparsely.
Claire stutters, wondering where her initial boldness has gone.
“Are you wearing that… Revealing outfit?”
“…”
“…”
“Can’t I ask?”
Haha.”
“A 12-year-old girl’s common sense attacks the vice-captain!”
Sirocco whirled around behind her and shouted.
“Noisy! Do you all want to be scolded?”
“It’s too stimulating for a 12-year-old girl. The vice-captain’s bikini armor.”
“It’s not a bikini…”
“Practically underwear.”
Sirocco, who didn’t know that the captain would point out her outfit.
She is a little embarrassed
“…Like that… If I expose my chest, belly, and legs… Wouldn’t it be disorganized?”
It’s so straight forward that I have no words to give it back.
In fact, Sirocco was mostly wearing underwear.
She wasn’t really naked except for her underwear, but she was super exposed anyway.
“This… It was also allowed by the Kingdom.”
“Yes!? Are you allowed to go around exposing everything like that!?”
“No…..Kuh….”
The members rolled on the floor and started laughing.
In rare cases, Sirocco’s cheeks turn red.
“……My skill builds up a lot of heat in my body.”
“Ah… I see.”
“I’m not interested in exposing.”
Claire’s cheeks also turned red.
“Maybe I can follow the captain…”
“Do you think our knights will be having a lot of fun?”
“That’s right, there needs to be at least one person with common sense to make fun of the exhibitionist vice-captain.”
“Who is an exhibitionist….”
“Excuse me. I didn’t know that such a situation existed…”
Claire quietly picked up her sword and stance.
Natural.
Have you handled the sword quite a lot?
‘We can start talking now.’
The trivial exploration is not fun.
She had no intention of looking at the other person as young.
‘Ugh, this sister is so scared….’
Claire was trembling a lot inside her.
My older sister with scary eyes is staring at me.
‘What should I do, what should I do…. Her father said that she should show her skills from day one because she is ignored because she is young…….’
It feels like a fight has brought about a bigger fight.
‘I’m so nervous I don’t even know what I’m doing… !’
Unaware of Claire’s feelings, the mock battle began.
Sirocco’s movement was like a gust of wind. She closes her distance with incredible speed and unleashes an onslaught!
The members also held their breath. It was an attack that could seriously injure even a skilled player if he failed to respond.
‘This older sister’s eyes are scary!’
Claire parried all attacks with a swift sword thrust.
Everyone’s mouths dropped in amazement when he passed an attack that would shatter even a rock if hit head-on with a delicate action like threading a needle.
“Have you ever seen such a swordsmanship?”
“No… I don’t think it’s the swordsmanship of the Astra family.”
“I received all of the vice-captain’s attacks.”
Sirocco dug in without stopping.
Surprisingly, she, too, did not disturb her breathing.
Claire gracefully let go of her limbs as if she were about to fall off just by brushing them.
Of course, she herself was very scared that her sister was looking at her scary eyes, but
Her hands just move wildly.
Its motion was much faster than that of Sirocco.
‘Are you really a child!?’
Claire’s counterattack.
Sirocco was startled by her thrust deep inside her, and she jumped backwards.
Balance and standoff situation again.
“Are you okay? Vice-captain.”
‘The pressure was enormous.’
She was the one who didn’t break a drop of sweat even after pouring her attacks on her for an entire minute.
She broke into a cold sweat as she had a premonition of her death from Claire’s attack on the vitals.
I can see why these guys fainted.
It is an attack sharpened to the point of being terrifying.
It was hard to believe that it was a swordsmanship that he hadn’t mastered in a few years.
“It’s okay. This much.”
Stormtrooper Sirocco is pushed back.
That alone made the members tremble.
Seeing with my own eyes the skills of the leader, whom I ignored because I was young…… Unbelievably shocking.
“Who did you learn the sword from?”
“Yes? Me…?”
Claire hesitated slightly.
“Everyone gets very angry when I say this…”
“I’m not angry.”
“By self-study… I studied hard for two weeks!”
“…”
“…”
“I referenced 〈 First Steps in Swordsmanship, You Can Do It Adventurer Chapter 〉 I bought at the bookstore. I liked that it was explained in detail.
I couldn’t buy the second half because it was before I got paid…….”
Everyone thought that Sirocco should be dried.
It was because anyone could see that reason was cut off.
Immediately, a great spark erupted from her sword.
“Wow! Vice-captain!”
“We’re all going to die!!”
“What if I use my skills here!”
“Stay away. I’ll stop writing later.”
Now I get it.
It is an opponent that must do everything in its power.
The flames that raged like they would devour everything were sucked into Sirocco’s sword in an instant and condensed into a sword form.
Now, like magma, heat began to flow through her sword.
The most unique skill in the kingdom, 〈 Flame of the Conqueror 〉, is the power to manipulate fire freely and make it dwell in objects.
I received the highest rank because I even had a special option to not get hit by the heat.
The flame condensed in the sword burns away everything it touches.
Until I came here today, I had no intention of writing to a twelve-year-old girl.
Sirocco was sincere.
‘What if the knife and clothes melt….’
Claire was a little worried.
“Sirocco, vice-captain of the Hundred Flowers Knights. I’m coming!”
Understand that the opponent is higher than you, and fight with all your might.
Although Claire was still young, she did not understand such a spleen.
‘…… So, do you mean to show each other’s skills?’
Raising the loser’s sword that even distorted the surrounding space, Sirocco charged Claire in a straight line.
This time Claire wasn’t standing still either.
What the members witnessed was a huge shockwave, and the sight of the sirocco being bounced off powerlessly.
The twelve-year-old girl standing there had white flames wrapped around her sword.
“…It’s a white flower.”
“The dragon king’s flame…”
She explains why she has no choice but to be the leader of the Hundred Flower Knights,
Everyone looked closely.
“Oops!”
Sirocco rolled on her floor in vain.
Everyone worried and jumped out, but Sirocco got up as if being supported was worse.
“Uh, hmm.”
“Vice-captain…”
“It’s a mess.”
“……Yes, I lost.”
I also saw Sirocco at the last minute.
〈 Dragon King’s lingering fire 〉 rising.
It is a legend that is thousands of years old. The dragon king’s flame is white and burns away all life.
Claire hesitated, as if she hadn’t realized that she had dealt with such a great thing.
“For those of you who came to see my skills… Come upstairs…! Ah, you’re already here…”
“Oh no!”
“We don’t intend to fight with the captain…”
“Then… That’s it for today…. My skills… Well, did you enjoy it!?”
Sirocco went to the little captain’s side and she patted him on the back.
“Oh.”
“Say it with confidence. Everyone acknowledged it.”
“Since I saw the vice-captain being treated in a disgraceful manner…”
“I see… There are opponents that even the invincible vice-captain can’t defeat.”
Sirocco’s cheeks turned red.
“W-was that ugly?”
“It flew by.”
“It fell off.”
“…”
She was so embarrassed that she didn’t even know she was sick.
“Anyway… Since there are no more people who doubt the captain’s skills, that’s it.”
“Thank you very much. I will study swordsmanship more diligently in the future, so I will try not to become a nuisance to the Knights.”
“That….”
“I don’t think I have to work harder…”
Everyone was at a loss for words in front of such an unfair talent.
Even if you search world history, it is a super rare skill that only appears once in a thousand years,
Even fighting Sirocco with the swordsmanship he taught himself in just two weeks.
“Captain… It’s so strong, but it’s so cute that it’s a little clumsy.”
Cleopas said with a big smile.
“It’s cute…”
Claire was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.
I am healed by the fresh reaction.
“Vice-captain, please feel free to talk. It’s better than me… Because you’re the older sister…”
“…”
Sirocco stared at the small, cute and strong silver-haired leader.
‘…… It’s lovely. I want to bite you.’
‘Hick. Are you mad at me for pretending to be friendly? I’m afraid of my eyes… !’
“……Aren’t you hungry? Do you want some meat?”
“Ah… Yes. I’m hungry.”
“Clopas, Ezekiel. Wake up Jonas. Go to the best meat restaurant in the kingdom.”
“Silver-haired Lori’s welcome party!”
The members hit Globa and blocked her mouth.
“Never mind, Captain.”
“We will take care of this guy.”
Claire blinked innocently and nodded her head.
“For the new leader of the White Flower Knights!”
“For~!”
The Baekhwa Knights turned to a meat restaurant because they couldn’t take their young leader to a bar.
‘At first, the 12-year-olds were the most excited.’
Looking at the members who were busy teasing the cute captain, Sirocco laughed inwardly.
“How does it feel to be inaugurated as a member of the White Flower Knights?”
“I didn’t expect to be the general manager, but everyone is so kind… I feel good…”
“What do you want to do in the knights, Captain?”
Everyone pays attention to Claire.
I love howhehesitates to say such a thing.
“I want to rid the world of monsters.”
At the age of Joe to buy what he wants.
A bitter word came out of her mouth.
“…”
“…”
Sirocco laughed.
“Then you’ve chosen your job well. Captain.”
In a relaxed atmosphere, the members shrug their shoulders one by one.
“We, the Hundred Flower Knights, are experts in monster hunting.”
